The Kinks - You Make It All Worthwile Lyrics

Hello, love, oh, you look all worn out, poor thing
Let me take your brief case, that's a good boy
Now you come and sit down over here and relax
And I'll make you a nice cup of tea
Then we'll have dinner and we can sit and watch the tele
By the way, dear, how'd you get on at the office?

I mustn't stay in this job too long
I gotta get out before the hold is too strong
I've gotta get out before my ambition is gone
'Cause it's breaking me up and bringing me down

But when I get home, you make it all worthwhile
You make me laugh and you make me smile
And after a hard day sorting out the files
You make it all worthwhile

Oh, I've just remembered we've only got Shepherd's pie
Do you like it?
Oh no, I hate it
Hate it? But my Norman loves it
And you did ask me to act normally, didn't you

I mean I can't cope with all that fancy stuff you like to eat
Like pizzas and eggs bennon, Benedicts, whatever you call it, I mean
Alright, alright, I'll eat it and afterwards
I'll write a whole verse about your cooking

You mustn't blame yourself like you do
It's gonna make a nervous wreck out of you
So wipe your nose and dry your eyes
What's the point of cracking up all because of Shepherd's pie?

Oh, baby, you never know what I've been through
I break my back and sweat and slave
To bring some money home to you

Oh baby, you won't believe it but it's true
What a boring occupation can do
It can make a nervous wreck out of you
It can kill your spirit and destroy your mind

But when I get home you make it all worthwhile
You make me laugh and you make me smile
And after a hard day sorting out the files
You make it all worthwhile

Would you like steam pudding and custard for afters
Darling, that would be marvelous

And when I come home you make it all worthwhile
You make me laugh and you make me smile
And after a hard day working on the files
You make it all worthwhile
(Come on, darling, let's go and have dinner)

And when I come home you make it all worthwhile
You make me laugh and you make me smile
And after a hard day working on the files
You make it all worthwhile
